Drivers and Restraints
Increase in R&D Initiatives to Produce Durable Products to Augment Market Growth
The majority of polymers used to make synthetic paper are Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) and Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET). According to recent research, fillers and other polymers can be used to make papers durable and workable. For instance, a 40% filler mixture of polystyrene and liner low-density polyethylene is appropriate for synthetic paper applications. Fillers are made of 80% dolomite and 20% talc. Due to the addition of these fillers, the material can behave more like paper due to the reduction in tensile strength, folding strength, and dart impact. The material can be made to resemble paper by using fillers and small amounts of incompatible polymers. Manufacturers can also benefit from these fillers and polymers’ easy availability and lower costs. All these factors are fostering the synthetic paper market growth.
Nevertheless, synthetic papers are generally produced from polymers. Most of the polymers are non-decomposable or take time to decompose. This factor is hampering market expansion.
